Add explicit binary type to Thrift
Summary: Identical to string in all languages except Java. Java String is NOT binary-safe, so we need to use raw byte[] in that case. PHP/RUBY/Python strings are all binary safe, and C++ std::string works fine and manages memory for you so it's the safest route. Java just needs this tweak.

Test Plan: Use "binary" as a type instead of String.
